Code Inspections in Internationalization

This topic lists all PhpStorm code inspections available in Internationalization.

You can toggle specific inspections or change their severity level on the Editor | Inspections page of the IDE settings Ctrl+Alt+S.

Inspection Description Default Severity

Inspection	Description	Default Severity
Lossy encoding	Reports characters that cannot be displayed because of the current document encoding. Examples: If you type international characters in a document with the US-ASCII charset, some characters will be lost on save. If you load a UTF-8-encoded file using the ISO-8859-1 one-byte charset, some characters will be displayed incorrectly. You can fix this by changing the file encoding either by specifying the encoding directly in the file, e.g. by editing `encoding=` attribute in the XML prolog of XML file, or by changing the corresponding options in Settings \| Editor \| File Encodings.	Warning
Non-ASCII characters	Reports code elements that uses non-ASCII symbols in an unusual context. Example: Non-ASCII characters used in identifiers, strings, or comments. Identifiers written in different languages, such as `myCollection` with the letter `C` written in Cyrillic. Comments or strings containing Unicode symbols, such as long dashes and arrows.	Warning
